I didn't read the description carefully, so I was unpleasantly surprised by the fact these hooks are plastic except for the round steel finish.
Returning these without a proven reason that it was seller's or Amazon's fault, I'd get a deduction from my refund which is 90% of my refund since the darn thing was about 15 bucks.
I guess plastic won't rust (even though stainless steel can last a long time if well-maintained) but it looks sorta cheap. Plus, the plastic hooks are a bit too wide for one of my curtain's grommets.
This is a great looking and well made product. I was a little concerned about buying a shower hook that was mad of plastic but now I understand the benefit of it. You can barely even hear the curtain slide back and forth with these hooks. No more metal on metal screech and clank to wake that special someone up in the wee hours of the morning. The rust free aspect alone is well worth it and they are pleasing to the eye for an added bonus. Now paired with my new stainless steel shower rod my wife will never have to look at the dreaded rusty rod again...lol. One thing I can not figure out is why it is so hard to find a product like this in stainless steel? Seems like a logical choice for an environment like a shower instead of cheaply painted or chromed metal that starts rusting in a couple months of use...huh?
btw, these hooks are exactly 5/16" in diameter if your concerned about them fitting through the holes in your curtain, you have been warned ;)
Buy InterDesign Forma 2 Maxi Shower Hook, Brushed Stainless Steel, Set of 12 Now
Unlike the two reviewers preceding me, I bought these Inter Design Forma 2 Maxi Shower Hooks precisely because the hook part is made of plastic. My reason being that the all stainless steel shower hooks I intended to replace make a very annoying and very loud screeching sound when the shower curtain is drawn back and forth along the metal curtain rod. Many a time an early rising shower taker has awoken other still sleeping guests and family members!
Alas, it seems now that I will not know how quietly the new shower curtain hooks will perform until (or if!)I can find a shower curtain liner that has grommet-ed hanger holes large enough to accommodate the width of the hook ends. The hooks are too big to fit through the holes in the liner!!!

The brushed steel disc will be perfect with the curtain rod I bought in the same order. Description is misleading, though. Plastic and Steel construction means that the hook itself is a lightweight plastic, only the disc on the face is metal. However, maybe that will be less likely to scratch the curtain rod...

Exactly what I wanted EXCEPT that the ring part is plastic and so doesn't fit snugly over the bar to prevent it lifting off as the curtain is opened after showering.

I love this shower curtain.In my opinion, the pattern is prettier than the picture. I bought two of these shower curtains and shortened them for my kitchen window. I replaced mini-blinds that had to be constantly cleaned. I know from experience that fabric shower curtains are easily cleaned either by wiping them off or throwing them in the washer. I used a tension shower rod and shower curtain roller hooks for easy open & close. I get lots of compliments on these kitchen "shower" curtains. The stripes really perked up my kitchen.
